Nerve damage is also known as peripheral neuropathy. It is commonly associated with diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, drug side effects, and nutritional deficiencies, but it can also occur as a result of an injury or trauma. Nerves are made up of fibers, which are also known as axons. These fibers are covered with tissues that act as a type of insulation. Sometimes, after an injury, only the fibers are damaged. In more serious situations, both the fibers and tissues are damaged. In some cases, the nerve is completely severed. The nerves in your arms, feet, and hands are the most likely to be damaged, though other parts of your body may also be affected.
